Beaten sides

Between 1887 and 1996 the championship was played on a straight knock out format whereby the All-Ireland champions were the only undefeated team of the competition. The introduction of the qualifier system in 1997 has resulted in five 'back-door' All-Ireland champions:

• Offaly (1998) were beaten by Kilkenny in the Leinster final.
• Cork (2004) were beaten by Waterford in the Munster final.
• Tipperary (2010) were beaten by Cork in the first round of the Munster championship.
• Kilkenny (2012) were beaten by Galway in the Leinster final.
• Clare (2013) were beaten by Cork in the Munster semi-final.

On a number of occasions teams have been defeated twice but have remained in the championship:

• Limerick (2005) were beaten by Tipperary and Galway but still qualified for the All-Ireland quarter-final.
• Waterford (2005) were beaten by Cork and Clare but still qualified for the All-Ireland quarter-final.
• Limerick (2006) were beaten by Tipperary and Clare but still qualified for the All-Ireland quarter-final.
• Cork (2007) were beaten by Waterford and Tipperary but still qualified for the All-Ireland quarter-final.

Final success rate

Only one county has appeared in the final once, being victorious on that occasion:

• Kerry (1891)

Historic success rate

When a county won its first All Ireland before losing a final at a later time

• Tipperary (1887–1909)

On the opposite end of the scale, only one county has appeared in the final more than once, losing on each occasion:

• Antrim (1943, 1989)

Winning other trophies

Although not an officially recognised achievement, a number of teams have achieved the distinction of winning the All-Ireland championship, their provincial championship and the National Hurling League:

• Kilkenny in 1933, 1982, 1983, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2014.
• Tipperary in 1949, 1950, 1961, 1964, 1965 and 2001.
• Cork in 1926, 1941 and 1953.
• Limerick in 1934, 1936 and 2020.
• Galway in 1987 and 2017.

Longest undefeated run

The record for the longest unbeaten run stands at 21 games held by Kilkenny. It began with a 1–23 to 1–9 win against Westmeath in their opening game of the 2006 championship and finished with a 3–22 to 0–19 win against Cork in the All-Ireland semi-final of the 2010 championship. The 21-game unbeaten streak, which included no drawn game, ended with a 4–17 to 1–18 loss to Tipperary in the 2010 All-Ireland final.

This broke the previous record of 16 consecutive games unbeaten by Tipperary, which began in May 1949 with a victory in the opening round of the championship, and ended with a seventeen-point defeat of Waterford in the Munster semi-final of the 1952 championship. The 16-game unbeaten streak, which included 15 wins and one draw, ended with a 1–11 to 2–6 loss to Cork in the subsequent Munster final.

Team results table

This section represents in colour-coded tabular format the results of GAA county teams in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship since 1997.

Prior to 1997, counties played in separate provincial championships, with only four provincial champions coming together in the All-Ireland semi-finals, and it is difficult to directly compare results across counties. Since 1997, several beaten teams from the provincial championships play together in the All-Ireland qualifier series.

Past

• The All-Ireland championship has used many different competition structures since 1997, and it is not always obvious how to rank teams. In general, the colouring code for champions (red), runners-up (orange) and semi-finalists (yellow) holds true. After that, teams are shaded green, blue, purple and grey in descending order of performance.
• The Ulster Senior Hurling Championship has not had any bearing on the All-Ireland championship since 2005 so it is not included from that year onward.
• There have been some changes of provincial championship:
  • Galway competed in the Connacht Senior Hurling Championship until 1998; they have played in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship since 2009
  • Kerry competed in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship until 2004; they played in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship in 2016 and 2017
  • Antrim still compete in the Ulster Senior Hurling Championship, however, it has not been part of the All-Ireland since 2004; they have played in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship from 2009 to 2015
  • London competed in the Ulster Senior Hurling Championship until 2004; they played in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship in 2013 and 2014
